Soldiers intercept explosives in Cabadbaran

From the Sun Star-Cagayan de Oro (Dec 1): Soldiers intercept explosives in Cabadbaran

Elements of the 23rd Infantry Battalion (CAFGU) under the operational control of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion stationed at Mahaba Patrol Base intercepted the transport of explosive materials during a security patrol conducted Monday morning. Confiscated from a certain Jun Canaway were 10 super dynamites, one roll of time fuse and ammonium nitrate used for making explosives allegedly owned by Satia Mineral Trading. The explosives were now under the custody of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion. “We have endorsed the apprehended person to the Philippine National Police and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group for proper investigation if there were violations made in transporting these explosives. What we are trying to prevent here is letting these explosives fell into the wrong hands. Many of our soldiers and police have already been victims of landmine explosions perpetrated by the New People’s Army and we do not want these things to happen again,” said Col. Ronald N. Albano, commander of the 402nd Infantry (Stingers) Brigade.
